Deutsche analyst says, "Silgan's move to acquire Graham Packaging is a watershed move in Silgan's corporate history and creates one of the world's largest & most diverse consumer packaging companies. If history is any guide, the $4.1B deal will prove a powerful value-creation lever for Silgan shareholders. Both companies enjoy among the most stable margins & strongest cashflows in the packaging sector, suggesting that Silgan's ~4X leverage (post-closing) is a very manageable level of financial risk."
